Cha-Ching!

I meet a local guy today and he took me to Central City, Colorado for some afternoon gambling.   Central City is an old mining town that went from boom in the 1870's to bust in the 1940's and then to boom again when gambling became legal in Colorado in the 1990's.

We went to the Golden Mardi Gras Casino and I put $10 in a slot machine.   The result was two jackpots totaling $600!    I also got a free buffet dinner because I'm a "winner".   Normally I would turn my nose up at a buffet, but free is free. 

My jackpot!
